    I had a package with a new Duke 3 Synthetic brush and some aftershave waiting for me when I got home yesterday. Since I have no patience, I rushed outside to snap a photo for today’s SOTD. First observation is that the Duke 3 is not a Chubby 2. The brush is not as dense or the knot as massive. Judged on its own merits, I really like the brush. It worked wonderfully this morning and feels very badger like. Three passes and touch ups ended in a perfect BBS shave. I hope everyone has a great Friday.

    EDRIO Ikon X3
    Vi-John Super Stainless(3)
    Wild West Brushworks Talleyrand (26mm, Frigate Class)
    Van Der Hudson soap
    Barbasol Pacific Rush ASB

    Good morning friends and happy Friday! Continuing with EDRIO the Ikon X3 slant comes in as entry #14 into the spreadsheet. Still working on the VdH Jeeves franken soap. I really need to get this used up because my puck of MWF needs a home. Three easy passes and the baby was waiting for me. Finished with some Barbasol Pacific Rush balm to keep my skin smooth and hydrated. Have a great weekend my friends!

    TGIF!!!

    Beautiful photo, Clint! I've wondered about differences between the CH2 and the Duke 3, Thanks for the comparison.

    Blade: Gillette Platinum Plus
    Brush: Razorock Plissoft 22
    Soap: Stirling Sheep
    Post: Alum, Listerine, WH

    Today was a return to Fatboy Friday. I was a bit worried at first since I couldn't recall how many shaves were on the Platinum Plus blade, but I needn't have worried. Nothing but an enjoyable issue-free shave.

    Thank you Andrew. I’ll take some comparison photos of the two this weekend.

    Now I’m on the lookout for colored Duke 3 and CH2 synthetic brushes. At least I increased my odds.

    Love the resin in that brush, Andrew. I’m interested in how long the edrio will take you. Great TGIF shot of Logan as well!

    Very nice pic Jim.

    This shave looks like it was worth taking the detour Perry.

    Great setup there Charlie. Happy Friday to you too.

    I'd call it a winner Mark.

    If youre happy, I'm happy. Dont get lost in the forest.

    Nice old school scent . Great reports Terry.

    Nice pic , nice brush, nice shave Clint.

    Must have been a good shave Andrew, the baby was waiting with sunglasses on !

    Thank you, Andrew! I took my weeks SOTD pics this last Sunday. I'm on 12 hour shifts right now, 6 AM to 6 PM. Looks as if this is going through the weekend so I'll need to figure out how to take a decent shot with artificial light. We just came in for morning break, hopefully my feet thaw before we head back out.
